Now you have your Data Literacy course syllabus ready (you can still keep refining it), let's make a video advertisement for your course to recruit new students. You'll create a 3-minute video to introduce your course to students who might be interested in registering your course.
Where to get started?
Think about how to express these aspects in your video: What is your course about? Who is it for? Why is it important for them? What will they be doing in this course? What will they learn from this course?
How to shoot the videos?
You may shoot your own videos, using cameras or just your cell phone (If you record with your phone, make sure the video is landscape).
You may take advantage of UGA's One Button Studio and Learning Glass Studio to create green-screen videos or doodle videos (HIGHLY recommended). Make a request to reserve them if you want to use them.
You may also learn to use animation tools to create animated videos (see the next section for animation tools; they are very user-friendly).
Or, you may use a combination of all the above (BE CREATIVE).
What should my video look like?
It should be about 3-minute long.
There should be narration (record your own voices) and caption (it's easy to do this on YouTube, I'll provide instructions later).
You may incorporate video clips, images, texts, and music, or other elements.
It should NOT be an automatically generated video out of only a bunch of photos.
It should NOT be a screen recording, like what you will do for Genius Hour Post#6.
What video editing and animation tools to use?
iMovie: iMovie is a built-in video tool for MacBooks. iMovie projects can be stored through iCloud, so you can switch between devices without losing your work.
Movavi Video Editor: Movavi is a free video editing tool for both PC and MacBook, a great alternative to iMovie. You need to download it to your computer.
PowToon: PowToon is a cool web-based animated video creation tool. You create a PowToon by building scenes, in much the same way you build a slide in PowerPoint. (Free version with basic features)
Vyond: Vyond is an alternative to PowToon. (2-week free trial)
Biteable: Another alternative to PowToon and Vyond. (Free)
Green-Screen video editor: Both iMovie (view tutorial here) and Movavi (view tutorial here) can be used to edit green-screen videos. More tutorials are available on YouTube too.
